What Features to Look For
There are many models out on the market that have tons of bells and whistles, sadly, many of these barely add value to the retractable indoor clothes line itself and can even be the root cause for some reliability issues.
For many years, the general design of clotheslines have remained the same simply because it is a single-purpose device that virtually needs no technological intervention to make your clothes dry faster—after all, everything is controlled by nature.
Why bother changing something that already works, right? Well, there are some positive aspects to these changes that you might want to consider.
Gone are the days when the choice is limited to just cotton ropes and the good old cast iron pulleys, there are retractable indoor clothes lines that have a very compact profile to help them easily blend in with the surroundings.
Choosing the Right Capacity and Number of Lines
A very well built retractable indoor clothesline that will last—no matter how expensive it might be—is no good if it cannot manage to take care of the laundry demands you throw at it. Frankly speaking, choosing a retracting indoor clothesline that will accommodate all of your clothes is just a part of the equation.
Your indoor airer must be properly sized to guarantee an effortless laundry experience, high capacity units should not only handle a week’s worth of laundry for a family of four or more but also do it efficiently.
And ‘efficiency’ is the keyword here, take note that you will be drying your articles indoors, you will be relying heavily on air movement or dehumidification courtesy of your home’s air conditioner so drying times will not be as fast as outdoors.
